Johnny Depp sues Amber Heard

Johnny Depp has filed a $50 million defamation suit against Amber Heard objecting to the op-ed she wrote in the Washington Post in December about what she says she experienced when she came forward as a survivor of domestic violence. According to Johnny, it was all an “elaborate hoax” that

World War Brange: the money phase

When Angelina Jolie first announced that she and Brad Pitt were over, I called it World War Brange because that’s what it was – the opposite of conscious uncoupling. (How smug-ass do you think Gwyneth Paltrow is right now?) After three months of bloody battle at the end of 2016,

World War Brange: leaks and publicists

It’s been almost two years since Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt announced their separation. The divorce is still not final because they can’t agree on custody. The two were able to keep their sh-t on lock for about a year after initially slapping at each other through the

Johnny Depp’s multiple lawsuits

As we all know, Johnny Depp is suing his former managers, The Management Group, for allegedly mishandling his money. TMG is countersuing Johnny basically for being a sh-tty client. In pre-trial documents released last year, it was revealed that Johnny is obscenely irresponsible with his finances, suggesting that his behaviour

Mimi’s ex-manager mess

Last November, Mimi and her manager, Stella Bulochnikov, announced that they were no longer working together. Two days later, Mimi’s former bodyguard threatened to sue her for sexual harassment and back payments. I asked then and I’ll ask again… coincidence or conspiracy?  There has been no update on

Will the Real Rebel Wilson please stand up

Have you been following the Rebel Wilson defamation case in Australia? I have because I find it super interesting that she is asserting damages to her reputation over a series of stories in a tabloid. It’s not about a drug problem or health scare or love triangle, but rather
